Scaling Plan: How Contract Limits Increase With Your Profit
Our Scaling Plan is designed to help traders gradually increase their position sizes as they demonstrate consistent profitability and risk management. This plan applies to both Instant Prime and Funded Prime accounts.
How the Scaling Plan Works
When you begin trading, your maximum allowed contracts are based on your current profit level. As your account grows, your trading size can increase according to the table below.
Profit Level | Max Allowed Contracts | Example for Micros |
Below $1,500 | 2 contracts | Up to 20 micros |
$1,500 – $1,999 | 3 contracts | Up to 30 micros |
$2,000 and above | Full contract limit for your account | For example, 5 contracts = 50 micros on a $50K account |
Why We Use a Scaling Plan
Risk Management: Gradual increases help protect your account from large drawdowns in early stages.
Performance Proof: Scaling ensures you can consistently trade profitably before taking on full size.
Longevity: This approach helps you stay funded and build sustainable gains.
Common Question: “Why Can’t I Trade My Full Size Yet?”
If you see an error when trying to place a trade above your current contract allowance, it means your account profit is below the required threshold for that position size.
Example:
If your profit is $1,200, you are limited to 2 contracts until your profit reaches $1,500.
Once your profit exceeds $2,000, you can trade the full contract limit for your account (e.g., 5 contracts on a $50K account).
